Houston Strong: The Texas flag flies above the rubble as the Houston area recovers from Hurricane Harvey that hit late August.

FRIENDSWOOD, TEXAS – With the Rice Ridge Fire bearing down on Seeley Lake and no moisture in sight, Houston, Texas was hit with Hurricane Harvey, flooding 350,000 homes and dumping 53 inches of rain in three days in late August.

After weathering 11 tropical storms in his lifetime, part-time Seeley Lake resident Conrad Jones never expected he would be the one needing help with number 12. Hurricane Harvey forced he, his wife Leslie and son Jack to evacuate their primary residence in Friendswood, Texas, a small community south of Houston.
